Be itknownthat 1, LEE Ssfinmwron, a citizen of theUnited States, residing. at East Cleveland-in the county of Guyahoga-and StateofOhio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Pipe supports, of which the'follow'ingis afull, clear,- and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a pipe support ofgeneral utility,' but which is especially Well adapted for u'se in connection with that type of liquid fuel stoves shown in my former application No. 797,217, filed October 25, 1913, wherein the burners are car? i'iedentirely by the supply pipe;-this pres ent application being a dlVlSlOIl of 'said' former application.

Theobject of this invention is the production of a pipe support-which is compara tively simple of construction ;]which 'is very rigid; and whereby 'the pipe maybe very securelyv held against. turning.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, Figure 1- is a perspective of the pipe support applied-to asheet metal member and supportlng a pipe which passes.

through said member; Fig. 2 is atransverse sheet metal member at right angles 'to Fig.

2, a portion of theelamping' meansof the. support being brokennway to more clearly. illustrate its construction; and 'Fig. 4; shows a simplified form of my pipe-support.

The pipe support comprises a-metal plate 1, which" is adapted-to be secured*,.-by any suitable means suchas stove bolts 2); to a supporting structure 'which, in the present instance isa sheet metal member A, it bein obvious, of- -course ,.that the plate 1 migh befasflened to any other form of supporting structure such, for. instance, as a horizontal beam, or a pair'- of spaced vertical ,m'emberswhich might be bridged by the plate 1.- i It. will ,be'observed that-the plate 1 is of considerable lateralextent and that it has-a projection .3'e'xtending from its lower edge horizontally over thepipe 4.

shown, this projection is reinforced by a substantial angleironwhich is soldered or otherwise seeuredlin the corner between 4 is flattened at 6 for the application of awasher 7,-a small nib 8 being left at the center of such flattened portion toI project into the hole of the washer.

To securely'bind the pipe, the washer 7 and the projection 3, with its reinforcing angle 5, together, I empl y,a clam comprising a metal strip 9, which is bent into .U-shape and inverted over the'parts mentioned, with it's outwardly turned lower ends 10 held together by a "clip or ring 11. A set screw 12 passes freelyt rough an opening 13 -in' the central, horiz nta'l'portion 13 of the strap 9,-'and'is threadedthrough a square nut-14 that is'confinedbetween the side branches of the u shaped-istrap .and is locatedbeneath and bears; against the portion 13 thereof. 12 contacts with the upper-surface of the horizontal branch of the angle iron 5. By turningthe screw 12 in the appropriate di- The end of the set screw.

.rection,= the nut. 14 (which is locked against the pipe 4, and that awasherfl isapplied thereto, it will be understood;that 'practh cally' the same effect may be "secured by omitting the nib 8 and using, in place of the washer 7,".a.flat disk-7f which is soldered or otherwise secured to the flattened portion of the pipe Fig. 4; shows-this modificatibn of my invention, and also showsthe plate 1 made of sufficiently heavy material to render, unnecessary, the use of the reinforcing angle .iron 5.

From theforegoing description it will be, seen that my invention provides a very' pipe; support whereby a pipe may be securely held against turning, the coopera tion of the flattened'portion of the pipe and the projection of the plate 1 acting as a lock ice to hold the pipe against any possible angular i'i'iovement with respect to the pipe sup port. 1

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1. In a pipe support, the con'il'iination with a pipe having a flattened portion, of a member that is secured to such flattened portion. a supporting; plate having a laternriwjeciima. (.i aiding over said member, and a device for clamping the pipe,- the lll l' fi'l and th ;i-"::=-jc j*tion together.

' in. a. pipe sup mrt, the combination with a. pipe having a ittened portion, of a duet upon. said flattened portion, a sup-- plate having a lateral projection over said. member, an L-shapcd nforcmg: member fitted within the angle between the body portionof the supporting plate and the aforesaid projection, and a cc for clamping the pipe, the first men tioned member, and the projection with its reinforcing member together. 7

3. In a pipe support, the combination with a pipe having a flattened portion, of a supporting plate having a lateral projection extending over such flattened portion of the pipe, an L-shaped reinforcing member fitted within the angle between the body portion. of the supporting plate and the aforesaid projection, and a clamping device for securing the pipe and the projection with its reinforcing member together;

4. In a. pipe support, the combination with a pipe having a flattened portion, of a member upon said flattened portion, a supporting plate having a lateral projection extending over said member, and a clamping devlce for holding the pipe, the member and .the projection together, said device comprising an inverted, substantially U- shaped strap having a flat central portion extending in a plane parallel to the plane of the aforesaid projection, and means inter posed between and tending to force apart the flat central. portion of the aforesaid strap and the lateral projection of the above mentioned plate, the free ends of the aforesaid strap being secured together on the side of the pipe opposite its flattened portion. i 3

5. In a pipe support, the combination, with a pipe having atlattcned portion, of a member upon said flattened portion, a. supporting plate having a lateral projection extending over said member, and a clamping device for holding the flattened portion of the pipe against the projection, said do ice comprising an inverted, substantially J-shapcd strap having a flat central portion extending in a plane parallel to the plane of the aforesaid projection, a set screw extending thcrethrough and bearing against the projection, and a nut threaded upon the screw and bearing against the underneath surface of the flatportion of the strap, the free ends of the aforesaid st *ap being secured together on the side of the pipe opposite its flattened portion. a

6. In a pipe support, the combination with a pipe having a flattened, annular portion, of a washer upon said flattened portion, a supporting plate havinga lateral projection extending over said washer, an L-shaped reinforcing member fitted within the angle between the body portion of the supporting plate and the aforesaid projection, and a clamping device for holding the pipe, the washer and the projection with its reinforcing member together, said device comprising an inverted; substantially U- shaped strap having a flat central portion extending in a plane parallel to the planeof the aforesaid projection, said flattened portion having an opening, a set screw pass ing freely through said opening and bearing a gainst the. reinforcing member of the aforesaid projection, and a nut which is threaded upon the screw and which is confined between the sides of the U-shaped strap and bears against that portion of the strap that surrounds the aforesaid opening, the free ends of the aforesaid strap being secured together on the sides ofthe pipe opposite its flattened portion.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
